Bugger it, I'm going to bite. Got nothing better to do.

1.) High levels have no point in grouping with a low level. This is because big means better in eve.
False. I frequently fly my battleship with corpmates in frigates. And many PvP fleet engagements use frigates in conjunction with battleships. Oh, and there's no concept of 'levels' in EVE.
Quote:
This mwd's are deadly for the game balance. Battleships are slow. And a bunch of small ships should be able to take out a battleship. Why shouldn't a frigate be able to carry one big torpedo to really hit a battleship.
Four cruise missiles on a Kestrel isn't enough for you? Oh, and two properly-rigged frigates can kill a battleship. It just takes a while.
Quote:
But it must be way faster than the bs then. Take the mwd out of the game. At least: allow only one per ship. A battleship with over 10km/s, thats a joke.
Frigates ARE much faster than battleships. With a single MWD, a Rifter flies at 2.7 km/s, and can run it forever. With two, it goes over 14 km/s, and can run it for extended periods of time. Battleships cannot run their MWD's forever, and take a hefty penalty for it (losing 50 shield is nothing for a frigate, losing 1000+ shield is significant for a battleship).

2.) Mining: Mining is boring! Sorry to say, but sitting in a high sec system and watch my cargo grow, thats not really interesting. But that seems the only way to me to make real money.
Funnily enough, in RL, the primary way to make real money is to do something boring called work! Nobody says you HAVE to mine. You CHOOSE to mine. Don't want to? Don't!
Quote:
3.) Agent missions. If i want to do such agent mission, i would buy a single player game. I heard, that there will be multiplayer missions from lvl 4 agents. But multilplayer should start from the beginning.
Again, don't do Agent missions! Nobody says you HAVE to. And not everyone can fly around in a group of twenty mates all the time.
Quote:
4.) Deep space: a newbie can't go to deep space. Why? Again: frigates are way to slow. A moderate frig, lets say 1mil with all equipment, would be a great scout. But it won't survive with all that bs beeing twice as fast, and apply a warp stasis so easyly. (ok, maybe there is a anti device i have just not found that fits in a frig)
This I have to laugh at. Sorry, there's nothing else I can say about this. You ever tried to catch a frigate flown by a competent character while you're in a battleship? No? I didn't think so. You wanna know what happens? It's bloody near impossible! Frigates fast, hard to lock, enter warp quickly, and warp twice as fast as battleships. They are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to catch if they are flown by someone who's even halfway competent.
Quote:
5.) Very little character diversity. There are only few ways to go: Fighter, Producer, Scientist.
Yep, and in other MMORPG's, you have only a few ways to go... Let's see. NPC killer. NPC killer. NPC killer. NPC killer. Oh, and maybe NPC killer. Maybe you use rocks. Maybe you use swords. Maybe you use magic. But it's all fundamentally flinging pixels at more pixels. EVE does an excellent job of doing away with the fallacy that is "character classes", and I applaud CCP for it.
Quote:
6.) Little point in pvp. Killing other ppl. Nice. But what for?
Seeing as you have not participated in Alliance-level PvP, I will disregard this comment, since you have no idea what you're talking about.
Quote:
Ok, you must give characters a reason for advancing. ... The the bs would be at the right place: a large, slow and expensive specialist in a mixed group, and not just some better ship. And you could save all the time thinking about bounty for noob-training cooperations.
Sorry, this bit is so disjoint I can't understand what you're talking about. First you say that small ships should have a chance against battleships, then you say it'd be stupid if they did, then you say that battleships should be relegated to support vessels, then you say they should be super-powerful base and area defense platforms...
And with having an incentive to advance? That's up to YOU to find.
